FAQs
How much baht should I take to Thailand?
For a holiday to Thailand under a Tourist Visa Exemption, you’ll need to show that you have at least 20,000 THB per person, or 40,000 THB for the whole family. Don’t worry if you want to take more, you can always convert leftover Thai baht notes to pounds once you return.
Is it better to use cash or card in Thailand?
Card can be more convenient than cash, but Thai cash machines will charge you a foreign transaction fee. Carrying both can come in handy.
